CONTEMPORARY 
DRAMA 


Many  clubs  are  convinced  of  the  advantage 
of  studying  one  subject  thruout  the  season,  and 
for  this  work  a  carefully  prepared  program  is 
needed.  Local  or  state  committees  and  state 
library  commissions  have  spent  time  in  preparing 
outlines  which  would  be  suitable  for  use  else- 
where if  they  could  be  made  available  by  print- 
ing. It  is  proposed  in  this  series  to  centralize 
such  work  and  to  conserve  the  effort  spent  in 
making  a  good  outline  by  putting  it  in  shape  for 
distribution.  Clubs  themselves  by  an  actual  test- 
ing of  the  outlines  thus  offered  will  be  able  to 
offer  suggestions  and  criticism  which  will  lead  to 
a  revision  of  form. 


The  Study  Outline  and  Its  Use 

The  series  will  include  outlines  on  art,  litera- 
ture, travel,  biography,  history  and  present  day 
questions. 

The  outlines  vary  in  length.  If  more  topics 
are  given  than  the  number  of  club  meetings  for 
the  season,  those  topics  that  are  more  difficult 
to  handle,  or  on  which  there  is  less  available 
material,  may  be  dropped.  If  there  are  fewer 
topics  than  the  scheduled  meetings,  certain  topics 
may  be  divided. 

Lists  of  books  are  appended  to  some  of  the 
outlines.  It  would  be  well  for  the  club  to  own 
some  of  the  recommended  books.  Others  can 
be  obtained  either  from  the  local  public  library 
or  from  the  state  traveling  library.  When  very 
full  lists  are  given  it  is  not  necessary  for  any 
club  to  use  all  the  books,  but  the  longer  list  leaves 
more  room  for  choice. 

The  best  material  on  some  subjects  may  be 
found,  not  in  books,  but  in  magazines.  These 
may  be  looked  up  under  the  subject  in  the 
Readers'  Guide  to  Periodical  Literature.  Maga- 
zine articles  and  illustrated  material  may  be  ob- 
tained from  the  Wilson  Package  Library.  For 
terms  see  fourth  page  of  cover. 

A  list  of  the  study  outlines  now  in  print  will  be 
found  on  page  three  of  this  cover.  For  later 
additions  to  the  list  write  to  publisher.

CONTEMPORARY  DRAMA 


Plays  are  chosen  not  from  the  standpoint  of  popu- 
larity, but  from  that  of  their  importance  in  the  develop- 
ment of  contemporary  drama.  A  star  designates  the 
plays  of  each  dramatist  that  have  been  selected  for 
intensive  study.  The  remainder  are  recommended  for 
supplemental  reading,  to  gain  an  adequate  idea  of  the 
author's  genius  and  characteristics.

B.  BIOGRAPHY  AND  DRAMATIC  METHOD 

1.  BIOGRAPHY 

Show  from  a  study  of  Ibsen's  biography  how 
he  had  his  interest  aroused  in : 

1.  Social  questions 

2.  The  stage  and  theater 

3.  Literature  in  general 

2.  DRAMATIC  METHOD 

Study  Ibsen's  fight  against  "the  well-made 
play.  Present  the  method  of  "the  well-made  play" 
and  the  meaning  of  the  modern  struggle  in  opposi- 
tion to  it.  In  this  connection  study  A  doll's  house, 
and  note  the  following  features  as  characteristic  of 
the  new  drama : 

1.  Natural  conversation  (no  soliloquy) 

2.  Ordinary  people  in  ordinary  home  surround- 

ings 

3.  Avoidance  of  the  happy  ending 

Hedda  Gabler  also  shows  Ibsen's  method  very 
completely 

II 
LEADING  QUESTIONS   DISCUSSED   BY   IBSEN 

A  doll's  house  deals  with  woman's  right  to  individual 
self-development.  Show  how  this  scheme  is  developed. 
The  play  is  also  a  correction  of  hypocritical  sentimental- 
ity, which  stands  in  the  way  of  what  Ibsen  regards  as 
real  progress. 

Ghosts  is  a  study  of  heredity,  to  draw  the  attention 
of  men  and  women  to  their  responsibility  for  disease  in 
their  children.  The  last  speech  of  the  play  "The  sun — 
the  sun,"  is  an  example  of  Ibsen's  use  of  symbolical  lan- 
guage. The  speech  typifies  the  hope  of  the  future. 

The  wild  duck  is  a  satire  on  sentimentality,  through 
a  study  of  contrasted  types  of  character,  as  illustrated  by 
Hjalmar  Ekdal,  Gregers  Werle,  Gina,  Hedvig. 


CONTEMPORARY  DRAMA  3 

Rosmersholm.  The  play  arose  out  of  a  desire  to  in- 
culcate the  necessity  of  "a  noble  element"  into  life.  "I" 
am  thinking,  not  of  birth,  nor  of  money,  nor  even  of 
intellect,  but  of  the  nobility  which  grows  out  of  character. 
It  is  character  alone  which  can  make  us  free,"  may  be 
taken  as  the  subject  matter,  or  main  idea,  of  the  play. 
Show  how  this  theme  is  worked  out  in  the  drama. 

The  lady  from  the  sea  is  a  plea  for  individuality.  This 
is  the  meaning  of  all  Ellida's  struggles.  This  is  a  sym- 
bolical play,  that  it,  the  Sea  and  the  Stranger  are  symbols 
of  the  great  natural  powers  about  us,  which  mold  us. 
The  idea  of  the  play  and  the  symbol  unite  in  Acts  III  and 
V,  with  the  two  appearances  of  the  Stranger. 

Hedda  Gabler  is  one  of  the  most  remarkable  of  Ibsen's 
plays.  Hedda's  tragic  fate  comes  from  two  sources: 
(i)  her  own  defects  of  character,  and  (2)  from  the  fact 
that  she  found  Tesman  a  very  small  man.  Lovborg  was 
a  much  greater  man,  but  she  was  unworthy  of  him,  and 
so  was  divided  from  him. 

The  master  builder.  A  symbolical  drama.  Two 
questions  are  discussed:  (i)  the  new  generation  against 
the  old;  (2)  the  progress  of  Solness  from  the  building 
of  churches  to  the  building  of  homes  where  men  and 
women  may  be  happy. 

John  Gabriel  Borkman.  A  study  of  a  man  who  is 
endowed  with  fine  imagination,  but  becomes  a  criminal 
because  he  bartered  love  for  wealth.  Contrasted  charac- 
ters: (i)  father  and  son;  (2)  the  two  sisters.

MOST  IMPORTANT  EARLY  PLAYS 

The  Intruder  (1893) 
*Pelleas  and  Melisande  (1893) 

The  Intruder.  This  is  a  fine  example  of  the  earlier 
symbolical  plays.  Note  the  symbolism  in 

a     the  slowly  expiring  lamp 

.   b     the  sharpening  of  the  scythe  by  the  unseen  mower 
c     the  barking  of  the  dog

g     the  striking  of  the  clock 

h     the  Intruder,  who  is  Death 

Observe  the  brevity  of  the  dialogue.  Much  of  the  action 
takes  place  off  the  stage.  Connect  this  fact  with  Maeter- 
linck's doctrine  of  silence  as  developed  in  his  early  essays. 
Pellcas  and  Mclisande.  Observe  the  following  im- 
portant features:  (a)  Arkel,  the  grandfather,  is  the 
chorus  of  the  play;  (&)  the  situation  is  the  triangle  of 
love.  Each  one  has  perfect  love ;  but,  as  the  play  teaches, 
no  such  thing  can  be  until  the  world  has  developed  to  a 
state  much  nearer  perfection.

MAURICE    MAETERLINCK.      LATER    PLAYS 
MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAYS 

*Monna  Vanna  (1902) 

The  blue  bird  (published  in  England,  1909;  in  France, 
1910) 

Monna  Vanna.  Is  the  philosophy  of  Marco  Colonna 
cynicism  or  fatalism  ?  Edward  Schure  regrets  that  the 
escape  of  the  hero  and  heroine  should  have  been  "through 
a  lie."  Is  this  a  sound  criticism? 

The  blue  bird  is  symbolical :  The  blue  bird  is  happi- 
ness, which  all  are  seeking.  His  method  is  to  make  us 
see  his  symbol  through  the  eyes  of  children,  animals, 
material  things,  such  as  bread  and  sugar,  and  general 
ideas.  Work  out  the  method  of  the  play  in  detail,  indi- 
cating what  each  represents.

GERHART    HAUPTMANN     (GERMANY,     1862-) 
MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAYS 

Before  dawn  (1889) 
*The  weavers  (1892) 
The  sunken  bell  (1896) 


CONTEMPORARY  DRAMA  5 

Before  damn.  A  study  in  heredity.  Compare  this 
play  with  Ibsen's  Ghosts.  Study  the  character  of  Helen. 
Study  Hauptmann  as  a  dramatist  of  social  questions. 

The  zveavers.  The  great  interest  of  this  play  is  that 
it  has  scarcely  any  plot.  Unity  is  preserved  by  the  con- 
tinuous presence  of  Famine  and  Injustice.  Note  that 
two  sets  of  characters  appear,  representing  (a)  the  old 
order,  and  (b)  the  new  order  or  revolution. 

The  sunken  bell.  This  play  is  a  reaction  from  the 
severe  social  themes  of  the  other  dramas.  It  is  a  pre- 
sentation of  the  soul  of  the  idealistic  artist.  It  is  cast  in 
the  form  of  a  fairy  play,  as  the  sub-title  indicates. 
Observe  the  motto  which  the  author  has  chosen  for  this 
play:  "Open  the  windows — Light  and  God  stream  in."

HERMANN    SUDERMANN    (GERMANY,    1857-) 

MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAYS 
*  Magda 
The  joy  of  living 

Magda.  A  fascinating  study  in  character.  Magda 
claims  the  moral  right  to  develop  her  individuality.  Is 
she  selfish,  or  is  she  not? 

The  joy  of  .living.  A  tremendous  study  of  members 
of  the  political  class  who  think  they  can  transgress  the 
moral  law  with  impunity.  Beata  is  the  great  character; 
and  her  relations  with  Richard  are  the  center  of  the  play,

JOSfi    ECHEGARAY    (SPAIN,    1833-) 

MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAY 
The  great  Galeoto  (1881) 

A  powerful  study  of  the  force  of  slander,  or  gossip, 
which  causes  the  tragedy.  The  distinctive  mark  of  this 
drama  is  that  slander  rises  to  the  force  and  reality  of  a 
living  character.

EDMOND   ROSTAND    (FRANCE,    1868-) 
MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAYS 

The  Princess  Far- Away  (1895) 
Cyrano  de  Bergerac  (1897) 
*Chantecler  (1910) 

The  Princess  Far- Away.  This  is  romantic  in  tone, 
and  tells  the  old  story  of  the  love  of  Rudel  the  poet  for 
the  Lady  of  Tripoli. 

Cyrano  de  Bergerac.  A  fantastic  romance  in  verse. 
The  hero's  ideas  and  physical  make-up  are  fantastic.  His 
last  words  are  "My  plume !"  and  his  face  is  disfigured  by 
an  abnormally  long  nose.  Note  how  completely  this 
fantastic  humor  is  carried  out  in  the  whole  play. 

Chantecler.  A  fantastic  animal  play,  with  Chantecler 
for  center.  Study  the  part  of  each  animal  in  the  play 
and  the  human  type  represented  by  each  one.  Study  the 
part  of  Chantecler,  and  note  how  his  dignity  and  his 
belief  in  himself  are  preserved. 

IX 

ANTON     TCHEKOFF     (RUSSIA,     1860-) 
MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAY 

The  sea  gull  (1896) 

This  play  contains  TchekofFs  ideas  on  (i)  literature 
in  general,  and  (2)  on  the  Russian  stage  of  his  own  day. 
What  are  the  main  ideas  of  Tchekoff  on  society  as  given 
in  this  play?  Compare  Nina  with  Ibsen's  Nora  and 
Hedda  Gabler,  and  with  Sudermann's  Magda. 

X 

EUGENE   BRIEUX    (FRANCE,   1858-) 
MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAYS 

The  three  daughters  of  M.  Dupont 
Damaged  goods 
^Maternity  (1904) 


CONTEMPORARY  DRAMA  7 

Each  of  Brieux's  plays  is  built  up  around  a  central 
idea.  This  is  particularly  true  of  Damaged  goods,  on  the 
theme  of  hereditary  disease  and  its  social  consequences ; 
and  of  Maternity,  on  the  theme  of  the  decline  of  the 
birth-rate. 

Maternity  is  a  good  example  of  Brieux's  depressing 
social  studies.  Julien  Brignac,  an  official,  is  interested 
in  the  birth-rate ;  his  sister-in-law  is  betrayed  by  Bernin ; 
hence  the  tragedy.

T.    W.   ROBERTSON    AND    THE    NINETEENTH 
CENTURY    DRAMA    (ENGLAND,    1829-1871) 

MOST  IMPORTANT  PLAYS 
Society  (1865) 
*Caste  (1867) 

Caste.  This  is  a  thoroughly  representative  piece  of 
Robertson's  work.  It  is  highly  sentimental,  and  deals 
with  the  romantic  love  of  George  D'Alroy  and  Esther 
Eccles,  the  daughter  of  drunken  old  Eccles,  and  the 
breaking  down  of  caste  before  love.  Caste  is  almost 
everything  in  plot,  spirit,  and  incident  that  The  doll's 
house  and  Ghosts  are  not.  Contrast  these  two  types  of 
plays ;  and  consider  why  the  representation  of  Ghosts  in 
London  in  1891  created  such  a  sensation.

The  great  Galeoto. 

Michael  and  his  lost  angel.  Read  Joseph  Knight's 
preface  to  the  play  for  the  author's  purpose.  The  theme 
is  "Be  not  righteous  over  much."  This  play  is  perhaps 
the  finest  of  Jones's  work.  What  are  the  elements  of 
greatness — the  story  or  the  characters  ?

Iris  (1900) 
Letty  (1904) 

Sweet  Lavender.  This  play  shows  the  tendencies  of 
the  English  theater  before  the  influence  of  Ibsen  and 
during  the  sway  of  Robertson.  Compare  this  play  with 
Robertson's  Caste  in  (a)  characters,  (fc)  incidents,  (c) 
sentimental  situations.

*  Candida  (1906) 
*Arms  and  the  man 

Fanny's  first  play 

Widower's  houses.  This  is  an  example  of  Shaw's 
"unpleasant"  plays.  The  theme  is  the  complexity  of 
modern  society. 

You  never  can  tell.  A  merry  comedy,  with  a  funny, 
wise  waiter. 

Candida.  Shaw's  first  play.  Candida  is  his  greatest 
creation  in  characters.  Note  the  problem  at  the  end. 
Huneker  (Iconoclasts,  p.  254-5)  gives  the  meaning  of 
the  end  of  this  play  as  Shaw  himself  explained  it. 

Arms  and  the  man.  An  attack  on  the  sentimental 
idea  of  the  bravery  of  soldiers.  Contrast  the  characters 
of  Sergius  and  Bluntschli.  Study  Raina  and  compare 
with  other  women  characters  of  Shaw. 

Fanny's  first  play.  Humorous  play  but  attacks  rather 
savagelv  the  dramatic  critics  who  judge  by  standards 
other  than  those  of  the  play's  real  merit.
